A person's fate in a market-based economy is driven in large part by the advantages and disadvantages that are themselves nothing more than random luck.  You may come from a rich or poor family, you may be good at school or not so good, or athletic or not so athletic.  These are just examples - there are countless other ways in which people, because of random luck, maybe well-equipped or ill-equipped for success on the free market.  For this week's activity, I'd like you to reflect on, and describe the biggest advantage and the biggest disadvantage that you have for success in the free market that is the result of random luck. 

I have no specific instructions on what I want you to write about, feel free to write about whatever you want if it is appropriate and answers the question.
